Antler: supporting entrepreneurs from day zero | ||
When analyzing fund theses, we identify common characteristics. Typically, funds seek startups that have already achieved product-market fit, for example. | ||
Antler, however, takes a different approach to investment. | ||
Through its Residency Program, the fund supports building businesses from scratch, believing in the potential of nascent ideas. | ||
The program aims to empower entrepreneurs to bring their ideas to life and address challenges at the beginning of the entrepreneurial journey. | ||
Participants in the residency spend 10 weeks in a unique innovation environment where individuals in the earliest stages of the founder's journey can find potential co-founders, generate business ideas, build their startups and potentially receive pre-seed investment. | ||
In Brazil, Antler has supported over 200 founders in creating more than 75 startups. Globally, they have assisted 6K founders. | ||
Profile of businesses invested by Antler | ||
Antler is sector-agnostic and indifferent to business models. With over 30 different industries globally, from FoodTech to CleanTech, Antler focuses on the capacity and complementarity of founding teams. | ||
Whether B2B or B2C, diversity is celebrated and innovative vision is the common denominator. | ||
According to Marcelo Ciampolini, Partner at Antler in Brazil, to be part of Antler's portfolio, the founding team needs complementary skills and functions and a high execution capability. | ||
"The problem to be solved must be significant enough for people to pay a lot for a solution. Having a good strategy – and clarity on go-to-market and customer acquisition, as well as a good MVP idea – are also significant differentiators," adds Ciampolini. | ||
